Solved: how do I change a host when seeing multiple hosts? - Splunk Community

Getting Data In

I see the same host in my Summary page in Search app with same event count.

They are the same host but show up like: hostname123_xxx.domain.suffix hostname123.domain.suffix

Can I make them both show as just hostname123 going forward?
